Book Review: Inseparable by E.B. Roshan
Inseparable is the sixth and final installment in the Shards of Sevia series. I have read two other books in the series (Wrong Place, Right Time and For Better and Worse) and can confirm that the books can be read as a standalone.

Book Review: I’m Getting Married to Mothman by Paige Lavoie
It’s wedding time! This is the third and final book in the Mothman in Love series and it’s a doozy. A notable difference this time around is the addition of Moth’s POV…

A Stranger in the Family is the 11th book in the Maeve Kerrigan series, however, it stands strong on its own. I went into the book with no former knowledge of the series and was able to keep track of the characters…

Book Review: The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz by Jeremy Dronfield
Initially, I was surprised to see this written in the third person and I wasn’t sure how I was going to take to it as I’m accustomed to Holocaust memoirs where they’re more like a diary of sorts (if not literally a diary). I’m glad I didn’t let my assumption stop me from adjusting as…

Book Review: The Orphan Collector by Ellen Marie Wiseman
I had high hopes for this one and it’s partly on me for being let down. I haven’t tolerated any sort of pandemic fiction (or nonfiction) well since 2020, however, my main issues with the book lay elsewhere…

May Wrap-up
May was, somehow, even busier than April. Or I should say I struggled even more than usual with time management. I read a lot more than I expected to, partially due to a random graphic novel kick that began. Unfortunately, even while I’m writing this halfway through June, I haven’t written many of my May…
